Storyline: Chicago is making its living on takeaways with an NFC-leading 17 and has a plus-7 differential. That could be decisive against the Redskins (minus-1). Also clearly in the Bears' favor is the performance of their special teams. Devin Hester is a force returning kicks against good opponents, and the Redskins aren't good — they struggle in just about all phases of special teams.

Did you know? The Bears have outscored opponents 51-15 in the fourth quarter.
